Advantages of Butyl Rubber adhesive tapes

2023,11,20

Butyl Used as a waterproofing and moisture/vapour sealing system in the building and construction industries has many advantages over Bitumen:

Butyl Mastic Tape is permanently visco-elastic (highly conformable, withstands expansion and contraction)
Butyl's Heat Shrink Sleeve is retained at low temperatures - soft and conformable to -30°C
Butyl's visco-elasticity is retained at high temperatures - does not flow at 110°C
Butyl is Cold Applied Tape, it does not harden with time
Butyl is pressure sensitive - no external heat required for application in all situations
Butyl has excellent sound and vibration absorption over entire product's life
Butyl is self-healing (if punctured will fuse back to re-create seal as sharp object removed)
No volatile organic content in butyl products or used in its manufacture (environmentally safe)
Butyl has some degree of resistance to organic solvents
Butyl has a long shelf life
Butyl will not stain surfaces or leach oils (no messy clean-up)
Butyl bonds to all non-porous standard building materials (including HEVAC building wraps), bitumen does not
Butyl is available in flame retardant versions, bitumen is not
Butyl and bitumen are both available in formats tested for water potability
Heat Shrink Sleeves is available in thin gauages down to 0.5mm
Butyl is compatible with all common acrylic, polyurethane and neutral cure silicone sealants
Butyl is available in versions compatible with oil/solvent based paints
Butyl is compatible with water/acrylic based paints
Butyl is resistant to mildew
Butyl's application temperature is a wider range: 5° - 40°C. Bitumen's application temperature is 15° - 30°C.

Butyl's operating temperature is Minus 30° - 80°+C. Bitumen's operating temperature is Minus 10° - 55°C Max.

Butyl Tapes, are used in many applications. The advantage of using butyl rubber in an adhesive format is that it is malleable and impermeable to air and water. It is hard wearing, can be applied to a wide variety of carrier surfaces and is able to be easily applied, thus giving instant results.
Uses in so many industries from providing waterproof joining solutions for sythetic turf and water sealing tarpaulins for dams and pondliners, to waterproofing and joining applications for piping, roof flashing, corrugated iron and shower bases, means butyl adhesive tape has a wide variety of uses.
